    DC> Well, that's one good think about BW:  It can use QWK.     
      
    MK> Do you mean the editor?   
       
   BLUEWAVE is the OLR.  It reads and handles the incoming messages.     
      
   The actual replying to a message is via just about any text    
   editor that you have.  I use BOXER.  But, I know of people that    
   have set up Word Perfect for the task!     
      
       
    DC> I'm using OMX as an intermediary to make the changes.  As it is, I'm    
    DC> probably the only one in FIDO with such a setup!     
      
    MK> Could very well be true.  I need to do something about all this here   
    MK> but so far have only taken care of point systems as that seems to be   
    MK> less hoop jumping seeing as that is how I do offline.  Thus the hoop   
    MK> jumping is the same across the board.  However I am thinking about how   
      
   If the main board is in PKT, it shouldn't be that difficult for users,    
   points, nodes, etc to use whatever they want on their end.  I get all    
   of my Echoes as PKTs.     
      
    MK> it could be done without having to add additional software for the end   
    MK> user and they can use whatever they are already using for messaging.    
      
   PKT, aka MSG is the common standard.     
      
    MK> Other then Fido, I haven't run across any of these formats.    
      
   I think that you would have to see how BW works in it's handling    
   of messages and message bases.     
      
   And, most importantly:  Tagline files!
